About us

Girls Who Code was founded with a single mission: to close the gender gap in technology.

Educational Philosophy

• The central belief of the Girls Who Code Educational Philosophy is that all girls are capable of becoming computer scientists.
• All girls are creative and able to make a positive impact on the world through computer science.
• All girls of varying passions and interests also have the ability to be passionate about and interested in computer science.
• We believe that graduates of our educational programs will go on to deepen their CS learning and will eventually enter the tech workforce, closing the gender gap, transforming the tech industry, and redefining the common notion of “computer scientist”.

Growth 

• The program grew to become a movement reaching almost 90,000 girls of all backgrounds in all 50 states.
•  We are now on track to achieve gender parity in computer science by 2027

Empowering girls

Girls are being given the tools that they need to solve problems in their communities, empowering their friends, and defining the future of our world.
